Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

215 Irritating Maverick

Damien felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at the disgust on her face. He knew without being told that it was directed towards him. Without a doubt, he understood that she was right to hate him as much as she does… strange! 1

He had treated her with so much disrespect ever since he made her his. He took her every single night without permission and as roughly as he could just to make her whimper but she proved to be a stubborn bull.

He even bullied her sisters just to see her beg but she never did. He went out of options to break her and in the end, he couldn’t help going soft and trying to make amends. Even though he doesn’t understand why he was feeling uncomfortable with the way he treated her in these past few days, he just realized that he was inhumane.

“Kimberly… Can we start afresh? I promise to treat you better.” Damien paused in disbelief. why did he say all that? Why was his voice holding…tcars?! He was really about to cry??? This is too much! He turned and walked away, leaving her standing there.

Kimberly also couldn’t pull out of the weird world Damien threw her into. For a moment, Kimberly saw a righteous man begging his wife to not divorce him and let them start all over again. “This isn’t real.” She told herself and started to walk in the direction he left in.

After they left, Code 2 came out from behind with his eyes trailing Kimberly’s naked back. With his stoic face, he returned to where he came from.
